Letter sent in 1916 arrives over 100 years later
A letter written during World War I has finally arrived at a flat in Crystal Palace, south London, over 100 years later. According to the BBC, the envelope, sent in February 1916, bears a postmark from the English city of Bath and includes a one-penny stamp featuring the head of King George V.
The letter finally arrived two years ago at the apartment of theatre director Finlay Glen, 27, who told the outlet he was confused when he saw it in the mail and only recently gave the letter to a local historical society. "We were obviously pretty surprised and mystified as to how it could have been left there for more than 100 years," he said.
The mysterious letter was written to Katie Marsh, wife of local stamp magnate Oswald Marsh, by her friend Christabel Mennell and it describes her visit to a sanatorium in Bath where her father was a wheelchair user. The envelope also has a stamp from the Sydenham sorting office, which was in operation for over a century before it closed down in recent years. This led to speculation that the letter was found and placed in the day's post when the office was cleared out, Glen told the newspaper.
"We are uncertain what happened in this instance," a spokesperson from the Royal Mail said. "We appreciate that people will be intrigued by the history of this letter from 1916, but we have no further information on what might have happened."
Glen told the BBC that if relatives of the letter's sender, or relatives of the intended recipient, wanted the letter, he would gladly give it to them. "It's an amazing piece of their family history that has turned up," he said, "if they want to, they can come round."

Is tech making learning foreign languages obsolete?
I wouldn't exactly say my French has been going well. A few decades after I left behind my high school language requirement, I decided recently it was time to take another crack. But while my travels over the last few years have made me as grateful for Google Translate as I am to be a native English speaker — they've also made me painfully, embarrassedly aware of how uniquely monolingual so many Americans (1) ____________.
New technology in the form of Apps and tools offering real-time translation have simplified the world so much that we don't really need to learn other languages anymore. Perhaps we can compare it to what the calculator (2) ____________ for math equations. Why then am I doing it? Even if in theory I could with great and focused effort someday become not entirely embarrassing in my French, there's still the question of why bother.
"When you make the effort to learn another person's language, you demonstrate respect." Arturs Penha, the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the translation service Skrivanek, acknowledges that "Technology has revolutionized communication, enabling us to bridge linguistic barriers more easily than ever before,” but he also makes the case for the human touch. "Learning a language goes beyond mere communication," he says. "It fosters empathy, cultural appreciation, and a sense of belonging.”
“When you make the effort to learn another person's language, you demonstrate respect for their culture and a willingness to engage on a deeper level. I speak four different languages." Peha adds, "I can genuinely say that people talk and treat me very differently when I communicate with them in their native language compared to when I use a lingua franca or rely on a translation App." Al (Artificial Intelligence) and Apps have made translation easier and more accurate than ever, but won't replace the value of the real thing.

A participação do Brasil na Segunda Guerra Mundial ao lado dos aliados criou uma situação insólita: combatia-se o fascismo na Europa, enquanto no Brasil mantinha-se um regime ditatorial, o Estado Novo, inspirado nesse mesmo fascismo. Getúlio Vargas, percebendo que a redemocratização do País seria inevitável, tomou uma série de medidas, na tentativa de manter-se no poder. Relativamente a esse momento histórico, analise as assertivas abaixo.
I - Muitos acreditavam que o retorno dos “pracinhas” da Força Expedicionária Brasileira (FEB) aceleraria o processo, pois, após derrotar a ditadura na Europa, completaria o trabalho, fazendo o mesmo no Brasil.
II - Apesar da violência com que a ditadura os tratou, Luís Carlos Prestes e o Partido Comunista Brasileiro apoiaram Vargas, seguindo orientações de Moscou.
III - Na campanha eleitoral para as eleições presidenciais de 1945, Vargas fazia um jogo político ambíguo: apoiava o general Eurico Gaspar Dutra, mas também estimulava um movimento popular que pedia a sua permanência no poder.
IV - O termo “Queremismo” era derivado dos gritos “Queremos democracia!”, dos grupos populares contrários ao Estado Novo.
Assinale a alternativa que apresenta todas as assertivas corretas.
